Funny Creationism Rebuttal

Entire line of creationist reasoning is ridiculous

America's moral and spiritual foundations are crumbling under continued assaults from the so- called natural sciences, whose findings depict humanity as nothing more than a herd of animals devoid of soul or conscience.

One of the most pernicious outcomes of this godless worldview is the notion that human beings start their lives as babies.

According to this warped and misguided theory, thinking and civilized adults arise from mewling, screaming, drooling little creatures who can't even control their own bodily functions.

The idea the builders of cities, nations, religions and empires could develop from helpless infants is an affront to common sense, but the moral implications are far more sinister.

If adults do indeed grow from babies, then all humanity is reduced to moral infancy.

Babies cannot tell right from wrong, so how could the adults they supposedly become have any basis for morality? How could the human psyche contain anything but the desire to howl until it gets what it wants?

Fortunately, men and women of piety have offered the world a sane alternative to the theory of infant-adult continuity. That alternative is the intelligent replacement theory. The fact that parents must sleep and can't watch their infants 24/7 proves that a supernatural intelligence can replace infants with charming kids who can walk, talk and follow directions.

Of course, this entire line of reasoning is ridiculous, but it is every bit as convincing as the creationist critique of evolution.

I believe the term is "Owned."

It is really a good comparison, but unfortunantely not even witty uses of logic can penetrate the shell of idiocy that Creationists envelop themselves in.

It would've been better if he pretended to be entirely serious throughout the article. I saw something like this on the topic of the freezing temp of water.

"The transition from water to ice is too complex to occur at a random temperature with out supernatural intervention."

Yep. The Olympian seems willing to print basically anything. Most of the time, that means a bunch of bullshit from creationists and right wingers or people whining about state and local government and roads, but sometimes we get something like this.
